“The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.” – Andy Warhol
A young girl in a swimsuit lies at the water’s edge as waves wash over the sand, with the sea and distant coastline visible under a cloudy sky.
Not every moment in my work happens beneath the surface. Sometimes, the presence of water is felt rather than entered, capturing the exact moment when the body meets the surface and light shapes every gesture. This wetlook style offers a different way of seeing the same subject. The images are still deeply connected to water, but the style shifts toward a more fashion and editorial language. Here, the focus moves to portraits, details of the body, and the subtle ways water changes texture, movement, and expression.
A young woman wearing a light, thin dress floats underwater while reflections and ripples of light move across the fabric and her body.
A young girl in a black cut‑out swimsuit and bucket hat stands in the sea with the lower body submerged, a butterfly tattoo visible on the torso, under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.
What makes this approach interesting is the freedom it gives for creative play. Beach landscapes, summer light, fabrics, and the human figure come together to create images that feel both familiar and otherworldly, offering a parallel path to my underwater work.

Two women at the seaside, one sitting on the sandy shore in a dark dress and the other standing in the shallow water in a light dress, looking toward the distant hills beneath a clear sky.
These photographs are not separate from the Nereids Photo Project. They expand it. They explore how the body relates to water without being completely under it, revealing another side of the same quiet tension between control and letting go.
